Abstract

An optical recording medium including a substrate having thereon a recording layer containing a dye precursor, a color developer reactable with the dye precursor to develop a color, and a light absorbent for converting light to heat, characterized in that the color developer is at least one compound of Formula (1): EQU (R--NH (C.dbd.S) NH)n--Z (1) (wherein R denotes a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, aralkyl, or alkenyl. n is an integer of 2 or more, and Z denotes a group having a valence of 2 or more.). The optical recording medium is superior in heat resistance and plasticizer resistance of the recorded image, heat resistance of background, water resistance, and moisture resistance.).
